Police captured Daquan Pack, 22, of Glen Burnie, during a traffic stop near Route 295 and Route 198. Pack was a passenger in the vehicle, police said. Pack is the suspect in the Severn shooting death of 31-year-old of Patrick Dixon.

Police said the department is "concerned that if individuals are aiding this violent fugitive from law enforcement authorities they could possibly face criminal charges" and are seeking a "peaceful resolution" to the investigation.

The charges stem from an April 1 shooting in the area of Meade Village Road near Reece Road. A uniformed police officer was on patrol in the area at around 8 p.m. and heard apparent gunfire, police said.

The officer spoke with a passer-by who said someone had been shot, police said. While pulling into the 8100 block of Meade Village Road the officer found a man suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, police said.

Police said homicide detectives who canvassed the area found several witnesses who saw Dixon's shooting. A preliminary investigation indicated the shooting was preceded by an encounter between Dixon and Pack in a parking lot, police said.

Investigators believe the incident was targeted and not a random act of violence, police said.

Police consider Pack armed and dangerous. His criminal record stretches back to 2013 and includes charges of trespassing and theft, online court records show. He pleaded guilty in January to second-degree assault, the records show.

Investigators are urging anyone with information to call the Anne Arundel County Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731, the Anne Arundel County Police anonymous tip line at 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
